Well... it's been a while.
In all fairness, not much has happened lately.
But we got the title!
So in the last post, I talked about the 'Vermont Loophole' and the fact that it didn't work, and that our next option would be to attempt to track down the original owner who wrecked the car back in '74.
After some Facebook stalking and vin-plate-running, we finally found the guy and talked with him on the phone (now that I'm typing this I think I already said this in the last post) but he agreed to sign the title over to us. There was only one caveat. He no longer lives two hours...

When I got out of the Navy I got serious about building, and built a 1934 Ford pickup with Pontiac tri-power engine, chopped top, custom 2 x 4 box tubing frame that was barely drivable...safely.

1967 Sunbeam Alpine Series V
This beautiful car has the original matching numbers 1725cc engine that was rebuilt by the previous owner. During my ownership I have installed – a modern Weber two stage carburetor and intake manifold, new billet aluminum machined timing cover, front seal and matching crank pulley, electronic ignition, hoses and spark plug wires. I added twin electric cooling fans and rebuilt the original optional engine oil cooler allowing the car to run cool even in 95-degree heat. I had the front calipers professionally rebuilt and added new shocks and...
